NOVEL FROG Chapter 24
Chen Huan raised his phone and handed the screen to Timothy, saying with a smile:"Look, I was also scolded for not being on the roster."
It was an English comment that read:"We need to sign a superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo, not that yellow monkey!"
"Chen, I must apologize for them. Please don't take their words to heart."Timothy said seriously.
Chen Huan shook his shoulders indifferently.
"Chen, maybe I can buy you a drink today." Timothy blinked her beautiful eyes and added:"Apologize to you for my compatriots"
"Forget it, I'm planning on sneaking into the gym to do some extra work out later."
"Well, Chen, I wish you all the best."Timothy stood up with some regret.
Chen Huan sent Timothy out the door, and when she was about to disappear, Chen Huan suddenly smiled and said,"Maybe after I officially play for Manchester United, I can treat you to a meal."
Timothy turned around and smiled and said,"Okay, then you have to hurry up, I'm also in great demand."
……
The game is still going on.
On August 24, Manchester United drew 1:1 with Sunderland away, with Mata scoring the equalizer for Manchester United.
Chen Huan still failed to make the squad.
A draw naturally cannot satisfy the fans at Old Trafford. On the day the game ended, the entire Manchester United team and old coach Van Gaal were once again collectively cyberbullied. On
August 26, Manchester United officially announced the introduction of Argentine superstar Di Maria from Real Madrid for 50 million euros. On
August 27, in the second round of the League Cup, Manchester United's substitute lineup faced the English League One team Milton Keynes.
Chen Huan still failed to make the squad, and in this game, Manchester United was bombarded with 4 goals by this English League One team.
After the game, the fans at Old Trafford were completely crazy.
Almost 24 hours of non-stop high-intensity cyberbullying began. One day, Van Gaal's residence was splashed with paint. On
August 30, in the third round of the Premier League, Manchester United played away against Burnley. Chen Huan still failed to make the squad, and the two sides drew 0:0.
On September 14, in the fourth round of the Premier League, Manchester United faced Queens Park Rangers at Old Trafford, but Chen Huan failed to make the squad.
Manchester United's new signing Di Maria scored first, followed by Herrera, Rooney and Mata, and Manchester United beat Queens Park Rangers 4-0. On
September 21, in the fifth round of the Premier League, Manchester United challenged Leicester City away, but Chen Huan failed to make the squad.
Before the 62nd minute of the game, Manchester United scored three goals and the score was 3:1.
But after Nugent's goal in the 62nd minute, the Foxes scored three goals in a row in the 64th, 79th and 83rd minutes, and the final score was that the Foxes beat Manchester United 5:3.
In the six recent games, Manchester United has only won one game, drawn two games, and lost three games, including a 4:0 victory by a low-level team and a humiliating reversal. For a while, Manchester United was in turmoil, and even the position of the old coach Van Gaal was unstable.
……
Late at night, in the meeting room on the top floor of the comprehensive office building at Carrington Training Base, a huge projection screen was playing a video of the match in which Manchester United was defeated by the Foxes.
"Tell us what you think?"After the video ended, the old coach Van Gaal took off his glasses and looked at his coaching team with a tired look.
The data analysts held their laptops and said,"Boss, according to the game statistics we made, we now have a very serious problem, that is, the difficulty in passing the ball from the backcourt."
"In the recent games, whenever the opponent team implemented high-intensity pressing, it was almost difficult for us to pass the ball with a low pass from the backcourt, and we could only kick the ball into the frontcourt. This not only wasted a lot of ball possession opportunities, but also made it easy for the opponent to counterattack. We lost a lot of goals because it was difficult to pass the ball from the backcourt, and the opponent counterattacked and scored on the spot."
"The few times when the ball was played normally were all with the help of front-line players such as Rooney and Di Maria."
"Difficulty passing the ball from the backfield……"Van Gaal rubbed his forehead with his hand.
After a moment, he looked at the assistant coaches and asked,"Do you have any good suggestions?"
"I think we can avoid this problem by adjusting our play. We can focus on long passes."
"I think we can play Di Maria as a left-back and help him pass the ball."
"……"
Suggestions were put forward but quickly rejected.
Davis hesitated for a moment and said,"Boss, I think there is someone who can help us alleviate the difficulty of passing the ball from the backcourt."
"who?"
"Chen. He mainly plays as a defensive midfielder. According to his training performance, he has excellent vision and solid passing skills. At the same time, his ability to back up and get rid of the opponent on the spot is also good. Of course, his ability to steal, predict positioning, and intercept is also very good. If he is allowed to play as a defensive midfielder, it may solve the problem of difficulty in passing the ball."
"Let him, a new player who has never played in the top five leagues, enter the Premier League in such a short time?"Van Gaal seemed a little hesitant.
Everyone saw Chen Huan's performance on the training ground, and so did his progress.
But the problem is that the intensity of the training ground and the real Premier League game is completely different.
There are many players who understand the training game, but don't understand the Premier League.
""Boss, I believe Chen has the ability."
Davis said firmly
"Well, let Chen be included in the squad for the next round against West Ham United"
……
September 26th, at the Carrington training base.
The players who will be selected for the squad will take a bus to the hotel next to Old Trafford to rest. The first-team players are exercising in the gym.
At this time, Davis walked into the gym with a poster, and everyone's eyes immediately followed his figure to the blackboard.
Everyone knows that the poster will show who will be on tomorrow's squad and who will get the starting position.
After Davis posted it, he walked directly to Chen Huan and said with a smile:"Chen, congratulations"
"Am I on the shortlist?"
"Of course." Davis said,"Why don't you look surprised?"
"I have always believed that I have the ability to play, so getting into the squad is just a matter of time."
"Well, Chen, I hope you will be as calm when you enter Old Trafford, because where……"Davis hesitated for a moment before saying,"Because there, the pressure is huge, not everyone can bear it."
"Don't worry, I think I was born to play in big scenes."
After Davis left, Ashley Young and other friends in the team also came forward to congratulate Chen Huan on his inclusion in the roster.
"Chen, I have a feeling that you will shine in Dream Theater"
"Are you referring to my performance on the bench?" Chen Huanxiao made a joke with Rojo.
